While the professor was back in time, he wandered out into the open field and got trapped inside the medieval world by the Dordogne River. Doniger then got the brilliant idea of sending back some of the other archaeologists to try and find Professor Johnston because they would know the spots where he would most likely be.

The Lascaux Cave in Dordogne, France is important to scientists because it explains the civilization’s culture and history in painting and the people’s artistic talents and use of paints. Further, the quality and bright paintings show animals, bison, deer, bears [Fig.1-4] and large mammoth animals.

Most growth has occurred since the end of World War II. France now ranks among the world's most economically advanced nations. A distinctive feature of the postwar French economy has been national economic development plans

ABSTRACT: Sylvia Plath was a prolific writer both in her choice of themes, language and imagery. Most of the times she has been labelled as a ‘confessional’ poet based on reading of a few of her poems-specifically Daddy and Lady Lazarus.A gamut of discussion has already been undertaken by critics and research scholars on the events in the life of this poet-her brilliance, her loss of her father at an early age, her numerous suicide attempts, her desire to fit in and her crumbling down of her marriage

Through science, humanity has been able to vaguely answer some of these questions; however, these revelations are relatively modern. The concepts of science
